Ushio America, Inc. (HQ: Cypress, California, President & CEO, Shinji Kameda), a wholly owned subsidiary of Ushio Inc. (HQ: Tokyo, President and CEO: Kenji Hamashima), today announced that the company will start offering the super-affordable, palm-top photo absorption sensor (PAS), PiCOEXPLORER™, manufactured by Ushio Inc., in the US on April 1, 2016. (Shipment of the product will be scheduled in late July 2016).
The PiCOEXPLORER™, model PAS-110, can be easily controlled by a smartphone or tablet mobile device; it allows quick density measurement and detection of protein, heavy metals, endocrine disruptors, and DNA.
USHIO PiCOEXPLORER PAS-110
The PiCOEXPLORER™ enables density measurement and analysis of a sample in an unopened PCR tube, and thus, does not require use of a pipette. In addition, it incorporates a communication function that allows smartphones or tablet mobile devices to display the measurement result as well as download or write programs (including calibration curves) via a network server. By allowing measurement of multiple items with a single unit, the PiCOEXPLORER™ can greatly reduce both the time and the labor required for measurement, thus making a great contribution to improvement of the measuring environment.
Ushio America will exhibit and demonstrate the PiCOEXPLORER™, the next-generation fluorescence detector module that is currently being developed through a panel display, and will demonstrate the "Lab-on-a-Tablet" using a smart device as an optical bench at Pittcon 2016, Ushio booth #1463. The conference will be held on March 6 through March 10, 2016, at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
